"I laughed out loud at Watchmensch. Several times, in fact -- and the climactic scene is more awesome than any squid!" - Dave Gibbons

In 1986, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons created the greatest superhero comic book ever told. In March 2009, Warner Bros will release the movie based on that comic, directed by 300 director Zack Snyder. The audience will be in awe. The box office will boom. And Brain Scan will say "balls to all that!" and publish something very different indeed. From Rich Johnston, the author of "Lying In The Gutters" and "Civil Wardrobe" and Swedish artist Simon Rohrmuller comes a complex and multi-layered tale of New York copyright and trademark lawyers, a conspiracy against them from an unknown powerful source and a history of how the comic industry has dealt with its creators. And just the occasional snatch of Yiddish. "Who Watches The Watchmensch?" Well, you lot had better bloody do.
